Aloha Adventure Seekers!!

At Cocoa Kayaking, we’re passionate about bringing you unforgettable experiences on Florida’s beautiful waterways. We understand that many of you have been eagerly anticipating our bioluminescence tours, and we appreciate your enthusiasm!! We want to provide you with an update on the status of our bioluminescence tours for this season.

Bioluminescence, that magical natural phenomenon, has a specific season along the Space Coast of Florida. Typically, it dazzles our waters during the warmer months, from June through August, and sometimes extends into early September. During this time, the waters come alive with the mesmerizing glow of bioluminescent organisms, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

However, nature is full of surprises, and bioluminescence is no exception. It’s notoriously unpredictable, and this year, the bioluminescent season has come to a close. We value honesty and transparency in our interactions with you, our cherished guests, and it’s our responsibility to inform you that the bioluminescent magic is currently not on display.

But fear not, because Cocoa Kayaking has a world of adventure waiting for you even when the bioluminescence takes a break! We invite you to explore our other thrilling tour options that will allow you to connect with the stunning Florida waterways in different ways.

 

1. Mangrove Tunnel and Sunset Tours:   Witness the serene beauty of the mangrove tunnels as the sun sets over the horizon, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of colors and shadows.
2. Wake with Wildlife in the Morning Hours:   Experience the tranquil mornings at the Wildlife Refuge in Titusville. Paddle alongside the local wildlife as they begin their day, creating a truly magical connection with nature.
3. LED Nightlife and Clear-bottom kayaks:  Imagine gliding through the tranquil waters of the Indian River at night, surrounded by the enchanting glow of LED lights at the waterline of your kayak. As you paddle, you’ll have a clear view of the river’s vibrant aquatic life through the transparent bottom of your kayak. This unique experience promises to be nothing short of magical.

These tours offer unique opportunities to immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Florida’s aquatic ecosystems. Plus, there’s much more excitement to discover on our Florida waterways, so be sure to explore our website for our full range of tour offerings.

While bioluminescence season may be over for now, the adventures never stop at Cocoa Kayaking. We can’t wait to share these incredible experiences with you and create lasting memories together.

Worth every penny!

We had such a great time, we had people new to kayaking and those with more experience and everyone seemed to have an equally great time. The tour was informational, relaxing and fun and the sunset was stunning but those glowing little jellyfish made you marvel at the beauty of nature. Everyone agreed it was money well spent and we'll do it again.

Love the tour!

Had a blast doing the wild life refuge with Cocoa Kayaking. Friendly staff, lots of animals and a great time on the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get out of the house and see some real Florida backcountry wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, birds, and the occasional gator if you're lucky. Will be back again, thanks for the great trip!

Manatees and mangroves!

James was a friendly and laid back tour guide that took time with us as beginners and pointed out all the neat things to see during the tour. We had a great experience seeing manatees, mangrove crabs, birds, and we got some fun pictures along the way. The company was very helpful with updates and was easy to book and communicate with.

Bioluminescence glowing fun!

If you're looking for a fun weekend activity check out Cocoa Kayaking! Family friendly and so much fun. Guides are knowledgeable of the local eco system and it's so peaceful out on the water. I took my daughter on the Bioluminescence tour and we loved it! Cocoa Kayaking makes it extra fun by providing glowsticks and water shooters. Well definitely be back soon as we had so much fun!
